Version Numbers

Starting with HDF5 2.0, develop will have a version number equal to the next major release. We will no longer skip odd numbers.

Branch/Tag Strategy

The naming scheme for branches will remain unchanged. Maintenance branches will be named hdf5_<major>_ for HDF5 2.0.0 and later and hdf5_1_<major>_ for HDF5 1.14 and earlier.

Starting immediately, tags will be named v<major>.<minor>.<patch>. We will keep old tags around for posterity.
